Society Chapter at UC-Davis hosts their own live speaker!
The Society Chapter at UC-Davis hosted a live speaker event on Tuesday, February 17th.
This was the first such event the chapter produced. The inaugural guest speaker was Jim Sochor—former NCAA football player with San Francisco State University. Sochor led SFSU to three league championships, then eventually became the head football coach at UC-Davis, which he led to 18 straight conference titles! He later worked as UC-Davis' Athletic Director from 1989 to 1991, and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1999.
About 60 members and 10 guests attended Sochor's talk, titled “Leadership and Team Building,” defining what leadership is, what aleader does, and what makes a leader. He talked about what it took to be a leader, how to think positively, and how to work in a team environment. He shared some pointers on working in a grouip and on how to reduce group conflicts, as well as general motivational ideas and communication skills. Other topics discussed included how to position yourself for optimal performance, self-empowerment, and tips on how to empower others.
We applaud the chapter’s ingenuity and enterprise, and we look forward to hearing about more of their original productions!
